In this review, we discuss recent advances in the study of the pathogenesis of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Much of the research has involved the use of an animal model of CDH in which diaphragmatic defects are produced in fetal

The pathophysiology of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is constituted by pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension (PH). We previously reported successful treatment with imatinib of a patient with CDH. This study examines the effect of antenatal imatinib administration on the pulmonary
We examined the extent of fetal lung hypoplasia and lung maturation using the amniotic lamellar body count (LBC) in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). We obtained 30 amniotic fluid samples from human CDH cases during cesarean section. We assessed LBC, magnetic

The high morbidity of newborn infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is attributed to pulmonary hypoplasia (PH), which is characterized by a failure of alveolar development. The nitrofen-induced CDH model has been widely used to investigate the pathogenesis of PH
